Seeing Homusubi looking at him, the clay clone of Deidara stepped back with a frightened expression, and questioned, “Hey… I have had no business with the Amatsukami before, nor have I done anything to offend your organization, so why are you people looking for me…?”
Tsukihi again used the Susano’o, and as the armor of the Golden Susano’o took shape around her, she said in an indifferent tone, “Oh, would you please stop with the act? Your stupid acting won’t fool anyone the second time…”
After speaking such words, she didn’t wait even a single moment and directly flicked her fingers, “The Golden Lotus of Hell!”
Whoooooosh…
And as soon as she did so, instantly, golden flames started to rise all over their surroundings and rose up to several hundred meters in height.
Instantly, the surroundings were filled with high-temperature golden flames that seemed to engulf and dissolve everything into oblivion that was unfortunate enough to be within the immediate range effect.
‘The Golden Lotus of Hell’ is Tsukihi’s new ninjutsu, and what’s special about this Ninjutsu is that it does not require hand signs, so, casting it takes close to no time, and as soon as it is used, it will instantly create a sea of fire within a 100-meter radius around Tsukihi.
Deidara’s Clay Clone was within the range that Tsukihi’s Ninjutsu covered, and under the extreme heat of the Golden Flames, it instantly melted and deformed into a slime-like substance, at the same time, its ability to explode was also lost.
…
Far away.
The real Deidara while hiding in the ground dementedly looked at the Golden Susano’o bathing in the golden flames, looking like the Golden God of War and Fire… and couldn’t help but think, “Can Fire and Burning also be so beautiful…”
But as soon as this thought came into his mind, he hurriedly covered his eyes with both hands like a shy girl and scolded himself, “No, Deidara… what are you thinking?! You can not admire someone else’s art and something that has nothing to do with the Explosion… In the world, only explosions are true art!”
However, even if he tried to stop himself from admiring the beautiful scenery before him, he still couldn’t help but peek through the gap between his fingers and exclaim while looking at the Golden Goddess of War and Fire with a blush on his face, ‘She is… so powerful… Perhaps only the members of Amatsukami are so powerful, she really is worthy of being called an artist… however, even if that is the case, I will not lose… today I accept my defeat, but this is not the end… damn it, just you wait, I will make you witness the true ultimate art!”
After making such an affirmation to himself, and a secret declaration to Homusubi, Deidara looked at Homsusbi once, then retracted back inside the ground, and fled the area in panic while using the ‘Hiding like Mole Technique.’.
…
Back at the Battlefield.
“Humph, I’ll spare you this time because I am using your cells to create a clone, but the next time we meet, I swear I will make you cry…” Tsukihi muttered with a cold snort, then dispersed the Susano’o as well as extinguished the golden flames.
For her, collecting Deidara’s cells was the highest priority task, and that has already been completed, other matters are all secondary, and they are not so important.
Moreover, Tsukihi also knows that if she were to drive Deidara into an extreme corner, then there is a very good chance that he might do something extremely crazy, the consequences of which even she might have to suffer… As the saying goes, the cornered rat will bite the cat, and if Deidara is also driven into an extreme corner, then the consequences might not be so pretty, and Tsukihi is unwilling to take unnecessary risks if it is not required.
One must know that in this accursed Shinobi World, there are thousands if not millions of things that can overturn the ship into a gutter, therefore, one must always remain composed and cautious.
With this understood, after Deidara escaped the battlefield, Tsukihi looked at the cell sample in her hand, then nodded to herself and she too left the battlefield.
…
A few days later.
It has already been a few days since Deidara was bullied by the female Homusubi of Amatsukami, and after escaping from that battlefield near the Fire Temple, he carefully and slowly traveled towards the border of the Land of Fire, and after days of travel, he finally reached the border while using the Hiding like a Mole Technique.
After crossing the border, Deidara crawled out of the ground, and while making sure that he wasn’t followed, he dusted his body as well as clothes and muttered to himself, “If only Homusubi was so powerful, then I can’t even imagine the true strength of the entire Amatsukami Organization, and in this way, the Akatsuki Organization that can rival the Amatsukami Organization should also be equally powerful and is probably not easy to mess with. If I want to remain alive and continue to pursue my art, it would be best to avoid these difficult people…”
Although Deidara said this, the lady luck wasn’t on his side this time, and as fate would have it, just as he convinced himself to stay away from the Amatsukami Organization and Akatsuki Organization, three people, each wearing the turtled neck black cloak with red cloud prints and a wooden hat with two bells walked in front of him…
These people are none other than the members of the Akatsuki Organization, and looking at their faces, one can identify them as Uchiha Shinichi, the rogue-nin from Konohagakure, the immortal Kakuzu, the rogue-nin from Takigakure, and finally, the Sandaime Kazekage killer, Sasori of the Red Sand.
Walking in front of Deidara, Shinichi took off his hat to reveal his Sharingan, and then while looking at Deidara with them, he said with an annoyed and lazy expression, “Hey kid, you are Deidara, the rogue-nin from Iwagakure, right? Now that I look at you so closely, I must say, you are a real piece of work, and such a troublesome guy, it took us so long to finally locate you… Now if you don’t join the Akatsuki the-…!”
Before Shinichi could even finish his words, Deidara in front of suddenly expanded like a balloon as if it was about to burst out…
“Huh… what the hell?!” Seeing such a scene, whether it was Shinichi or Kakuzu or Sasori, each of the three of them was taken aback, and at a complete loss.
They didn’t have to remain stupefied for very long, as suddenly the expanding Deidara before them, exploded…!
Boom Boom Boom!
The explosion shook the entire forest, and the resulting shock waves made the surrounding forest a mess, the after-effects felt as if an extremely terrifying storm had just passed through the forest.
After a long time, the shockwaves caused by the explosion subsided, and the smoke cleared to reveal the miserable situation of the three members of the Akatsuki Organization.
Shinichi was kneeling on the ground, and panting heavily… As the semi-destroyed green Susano’o started to disperse, he got up and cursed, “Fuck… Does that guy have some problem with his brain? Why did he explode as soon as we met him? I hadn’t even finished my words!”
Sasori crawled out of the Hiruko puppet, and said coldly, “Don’t complain, and start searching for Kakuzu, I just hope that he is still alive, otherwise we will be answerable to Nagato…”
“The surroundings are destroyed, and everything is a mess, how do you expect me to find him?” said Shinichi in annoyance.
Sasori also was also not in a very good mood, and said with an unhappy expression, “I don’t know… you have the Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan, don’t you? Get it to work…”
“Tch!” Shinichi clicked his tongue and then started to look for Kakuzu with the help of the insight of his Sharingan.
Sasori too started to search for Kakuzu, and while doing so, he muttered with a doubtful expression, “The information about Deidara said that he has some weird obsession with art and explosion, Zetsu said nothing about him being unable to even communicate… it’s strange.”
Crack… Crack…
At this moment, the ground cracked, and Kakuzu with an embarrassed appearance climbed out of it.
Kakuzu’s appearance was most miserable among the three, Shinichi only suffered from slight chakra exhaustion, while Sasori was also safe, it’s just that one of his puppets was destroyed, and now he would have to work on it again to repair it… But Kakuzu had no such way as Susano’o or puppet to defend himself, as such, he suffered the most under the effect of the explosion.
His Akatsuki Cloak had turned into rags and barely hung on his body, and among the four masks on his back, three were completely destroyed, while the last one was more than half-cracked… Which meant that he was pretty close to death.
Shinichi looked at Kakuzu in surprise, “Huh… you aren’t dead yet?”
Kakuzu snorted, and said viciously, “That kid Deidara… his heart is mine!”
Sasori, “And I’ll keep the body… There is no need to recruit such a lunatic into the organization, it would save everyone the trouble if we directly deal with him…”
Shinichi chuckled, “Now we are talking…”
…
Far away from the sight of an explosion.
Having escaped the sight of the explosion by once again using the cover of the Clay Clone, Deidara again crawled out of the ground with a speechless expression, and couldn’t help but mutter to himself in doubt, “What the hell is going on? Why are such people coming after me one after another…!?”
Deidara completely understands that if he hadn’t directly used body replacement Jutsu with an explosion clone, he would have had to face those three members of the Akatsuki Organization, and the result of the battle need not be guessed, it would have been his defeat…
And considering the possibility that those three of them might still be after him, and hadn’t given up, Deidara quickly created another clay bird, and hurriedly jumped on it and left the area.
Currently, he is extremely nervous and frightened and continued to watch the surroundings alertly to make sure that no one is coming after him, otherwise, he would be done for… At this moment, Deidara just wants to get as far away from this damned country.
“Tch, the Shinobi World is becoming more and more dangerous now… it’s no longer safe enough to wander around alone… let’s go back to the village to live peacefully, and apologize to the old man…”
With this in mind, Deidara changed his next course and went in the direction of the Land of Rock.
